The low oil pressure messsage has been showing for a long time on a 2001 3.5L Aurora Is this a Sending Unit problem If so how do you replace it?

Usually it is NOT a problem with the sending unit. Low oil pressure is typically caused by worn rod and/or main bearings. This is typically caused by poor engine maintenance. THIS IN FACT TURNED OUT TO BE A BAD OIL SENDING UNIT. BY THE WAY THE THIS ENGINE IS MAINTAINED PROPERLY. Check for loose grounds to engine. There are several. My 2001 Aurora has had sevral oil pressure transducers replaced. Just recently right after another was replaced the car was on the rack at the AC mechanics shop. He noticed an arcing ground to the engine. It is possible that the electricl surging has been burning out the semiconductor in the transducer. The same mechanic found a broken ground to the compressor clutch and a leaking AC sensor. Fixed them all and the AC works! Hope he also fixed the oil pressure sender problem.
